To keep file size small, shorten printing time, and
use less memory, use the lowest possible output
resolution setting for an image of a picture.
The output resolution for the image in the
selection area is set in the
Output Resolution tool.
The
Output Resolution tool is active for these
output types:
■
True Color
■
Grayscale
■
256 Color Web Palette
■
256 Color System Palette
■
256 Color Optimized Palette
■
Black & White Bitmap (raster)

for color or black and white photographs.

Use 75 as the output resolution setting when:
• you plan to display the image on a monitor in
a Web page
• the output type is 256 Color Web Palette, 256
Color System Palette
, 256 Color Optimized
Palette
, or Grayscale
■
Use 100 as the output resolution setting when:
• you plan to print the image on a 300 DPI
printer
• the output type is True Color, 256 Color
Optimized Palette
, or Grayscale
■
Use 150 as the output resolution setting when:

For Web page images, higher resolution does
not improve image quality, but does increase
the number of bytes required to store the
image.
